" So-sorry. Just.. We..were", I tried to put words together but nothing came out. I met Sam's eyes, but he wasn't mad. He was just annoyed.

" So its Ms bike bumper. ", Alisha said playfully. Why was she all cheery? Yesterday she was giving me glares for crashing the bike.

Jay looked at me and gave me a confused look.

" Hey..Alisha. ", I said nervously smiling.

" Back to work everyone. ", she ordered the rest.

She grasped Sam's hand and pulled him towards us. I looked at their hands and then at Sam. He too looked shocked.

" Are you participating in the fashion show?", she asked me smiling genuinely. Is this girl bipolar?

" No. Not really. "

" Well you should. You have a good figure. "

" I'll think about it. ", I said unsure of what to do.

" You should participate. Representing the college is a big deal. ", Sam said, his hand still in Alisha's.

Well I am not agreeing to anything while his hand is in hers.

" Yea. I'll think about it. ", I repeated.

" Okay. " he nodded.

" See you later. ", Alisha said freeing his hand to wave a bye bye.

" See ya. ", I said waving back. Now was the chance.

" Oh and Sam. ", I called out to him. Both of them looked back and I smirked.

I went ahead and kissed him. He was shocked at first, but then he kissed me back. " I am sorry about yesterday. ", I said smiling.

I didn't wait to see Alisha's reaction. I took hold of Jay's hand and got out of there.

~*~*~*

College just got over and all of us were about to head home. We were going to meet the boys by their cars.

" I am bored. I don't want to go home. " Aryan whined. (Aryan is Jay's friend).

" Me neither. ", Deepika said with a pouty face.

" We have an assignment to complete. ", I reminded them.

" Hey we could go to the beach!, " Natasha exclaimed completely ignoring me.

" Yea that is a great idea! ", Jay agreed. Great. So my opinion did not matter. Good to know.

" In that case we should call the boys as well. ", I said sighing.

Just then I heard a ping.

Sam: I might stay back at college due to the competition preparations.

Ariana: That is okay. We all are heading to the beach. Are Shoaib and Ayan staying back with you?

Sam: I guess. Have fun! Will meet you tomorrow.

Ariana: Yea you too.

I put my phone back in my pocket and informed the others about it.

" To the beaacchhhh! ", Maya screamed.

" To the beaacchhh!", Natasha screamed along.

" What are you guys upto? ", Rohan came running upto us.

" We were just heading to the beach. ", Deepika stated while looking at him with dreamy eyes.

Me and Natasha simultaneously smacked her head and let out an 'ow'.

" Cool we will join you. ", Shamika said appearing from behind him.

Most of us groaned. Great.

" Okay who is gonna go and buy the drinks? ", Natasha stated walking to the beach.

" I don't have an ID. ", Deepika said pouting.

" Oh you guys are too naive. Watch me. ", Shamika said dragging Rohan along to the liquor shop.

They returned after 5 to 10 mins with drinks in their hands.

" You guys are great. ", Aryan said beaming.

Yea. Sure.

~*~*~

As soon as we reached the beach, cool breeze greeted our faces.

" This is awesome!. ", Jay said shouting.

" Yes it is. ", I said shouting back.

People around us gave us weird stares but we didn't care at the moment.

Everyone started removing their shoes and I followed.

" Ew. Why are you guys doing that? Your feet will get dirty. " Shamika enlightened us with an already known fact.

" One. Its sand. And two, Shamika, your sandals will get dirty. Aren't you worried about you million dollars heels? ", Deepika said smiling sarcastically at her.

" OMG yes. ", Shamika said hurriedly removing her heels.

The others laughed while Rohan just smiled. What does that dumb fuck see in her?

We started walking with shoes is our hands and drinks in our bags. We found an isolated spot and occupied the place.

" This is nice. ", I said sighing and taking a sip of vodka. The sunset looked amazing, as the horizon took different shades of orange and pink.

" Yes it is. ", Aryan agreed.

We were now sitting cross legged, facing the sea.

Just then Shamika took some sand and put it on Deepika's head.

" What the actual fuck!? ", Deepika screamed. "You are dead. ", she said angrily taking off after Shamika.

I know I should support her, but I started laughing. Maybe the alcohol was getting to me.

I finished my drink and started throwing sand around at everyone. We all started doing that, having fun in the process.

" Stop it Ari. ", Jay said holding my wrist. We stared into each other's eyes for a moment.

" Do you find this romantic? ", I giggled.

" No. ", he said rolling his eyes.

I continued throwing sand at him.

" Wait till I get you. ",  he said getting up to catch me. I was faster so I started running around.

We ran towards the sea and stopped when a wave came rushing towards us.

The others got busy in playing catch and we laughed looking at them.

Deepika, Rohan and Aryan came running towards us after seeing us.

" What are you guys doing? ", Deepika said giggling.

" Oh I know what we should do. ", I said getting the perfect idea.

"So you know the game that pops up when your internet goes off? ", I said smiling widely. " We can be the little dragon and the waves can be the cacti. "

" Oh like we jump? ", Jay asked getting confused.

I nodded. Just then a wave hit us.

" You lose idiots. ", Deepika said giggling.

" So do you. ", Aryan said sticking his tongue out at Deepika.

" Jump! " Jay exclaimed and all of us jumped, splashing water on each other. I tasted salty water and spit it out.

" Rohan, will you build a castle with me? ", Deepika said, her eyes clearly twinkling.

" Yea why not. Lets gooo ", Rohan said taking hold of Deepika's hand dragging her towards the sandy area.

We saw them going , when Shamika approached Rohan and said something. 

He went with Shamika, leaving Deepika alone. I started to run towards her but I tripped. Jay caught me just in time before I fell face first.

" She is sad. ", I said pouting.

" Wait, I'll get her. ", Aryan said running towards her. 

Jay and I slowly walked towards her, as I was unable to walk in a straight line. No idea why. Who even made the rule that we need to walk in a straight line. We could go zigzag, it is more fun. 

I started walking zigzag to implement my idea, and it really was more fun. 

" Ari, stop or you will fall. ", Jay said trying to hold me.

" But it is more fun. ", I whined.

We finally reached to where Dips was.

" Dips, I know you are sad but I know just the thing that would cheer you up. ", I said smiling at her.

The others were building a sand castle and Rohan and Shamika had disappeared to god knows where.

I took Deepika's hand and started dragging her in a zigzag pattern.

" He really doesn't like me. ", she started crying. I paused and looked back at her to see tears streaming from her eyes. " He doesn't even care about our friendship anymore. ", she said sobbing.

" Oh honey, he is just blinded by that bitch. ", I said hugging her. " The day she will dump her, he will come running back to you. ", I gave her a crappy consolation.

" You really think so? ", she hiccuped.

" Of course. ", I nodded and smiled. 

Jay and Aryan came soon after and we all sat down feeling the cool sand beneath our feet.

" Ari says Rohan will be mine after that bitch dumps him. ", Deepika said smiling a bit. She is so drunk. How can people be this drunk with such a small amount of alcohol.

" That is very right.", I said giggling.

" You are a very nice girl. And Rohan is blind to not see that. ", Aryan said side hugging Dips.

" If I were in his place, I would have asked you out years ago. ", Jay said tapping her back.

I smacked  his head and rolled my eyes. " Don't flirt with my best friend. ", I whisper scolded.

Everyone else soon came and joined us including Rohan and Shamika.

" Guys. Even though I hate you people, I still know you since my childhood, so you guys need to come support me for the fashion show. ", standing up, Shamika said cheerfully. Even drunk, she was a bitch.

" Well if you are good, then we shall maybe support you. ", I said standing up as well.

" No one asked you bitch. You are new here. And don't talk about being good. You can't even match upto me. ", she said sneering.

" Well you don't know that yet. We shall see who is better, because I too am taking part in the fashion show. ", I said smiling proudly.

Wait what?

Everyone looked at me getting surprised, excepting Jay. He just smiled at me proudly.

Mouth, didn't you feel the need to inform me before making a decision? Ugh.
